It Is Official :-D

Happy Days are here again!

Despite the bitterness coming from the obamas and their minions, the morning's events went well and President Trump was not assassinated after all. 

But there were obvious bitter feelings aimed in their directions:

First Lady, Melania Trump’s goodwill gift shunned by a bitter michael robinson-obama; michael acted like the gift was loaded with TNT or an asp - michael could not get rid of that package fast enough.

Angry michael; ex-1^st {‘lady’; questionable}.

Pained hellery: bitter hopeful that lost last 2 presidential campaigns.

Angry obama witches; micahel and hellery: 2 political witches that are hateful and racist – GLAD they are gone!

Sour faced clintons and ideologically constipated bushes: I’d like to feel sorry for them, but I just can’t.

Angry obamas scowling and clenching jaws as President Trump moves among them: the obamas just will NOT let go of the reins. It’s pathetic.

jimmy carter having a pity-party-breakdown and hoping for death. Seriously folks; one of the ex-president’s - jimmy carter was wishing he would die ‘right here, right now’ as President Trump was Inaugurated this morning. Somehow I found myself agreeing with him … I wish that traitor’s lament would come true. Soon.

Another ex-president, dubbya, acting retarded. As usual. He can’t help it; he really is hopelessly backwards.

President Trump & VP Pence: HOPE for America and Israel

(((THANK YOU LORD FOR A REAL PRESIDENT IN DONALD J. TRUMP!)))

Bless him today with wisdom, health, and the knowledge needed to “get the job done” in America FOR Americans. Uphold him with Your Right Hand, bow his knee to seek You, and guide him with Your Holy Spirit. Grant him unwavering loyalty Father that he can accomplish everything that You put him in DC to do. With Your help and a real President that truly loves and cares for America and Your People, we can “make American great again”.

We, The People of America, united under 1 God and 1 Nation, stand with and support Israel – the Apple of Your Eye – bless us again O Lord with peace and prosperity promised in Your Word according to those that love and honor You and the People You have chosen as Your Own. President Donald John Trump and Vice President Michael Richard Pence will need Your interventions Father as they undertake the untangling of the messes left them by previous Presidents. I ask Lord that You would go throughout America and uncloud the minds of the people that have been clouded by the wickedness that has held our Nation in its grip for the past 6 decades and restore sanity. I ask Lord that You would cause The People to repent of the evil they allowed the 44^th president to unleash on us because they were afraid of racial backlash. Strengthen hearts Father and forgive the fears that overtook the Nation under a tyrants reign. I ask Father that You would look favorably again on America and raise her people again to glorious heights as we boldly stand and give You praise and glory for Your victory of the 2017 Election that will catapult America to greatness again: America is the hope of the world Lord and it has been shameful that the 44^th president would actively seek to destroy America’s foundations of prosperity, morals, unity, and Spiritual footings; without these great milestones we are nothing; for these things are what makes America the greatest Nation on the face of the earth. Where the 44^th president sought to make America another 3^rd world county equal to the lowest of the 3^rd world countries, the 45^th President understands that only when America is great again can those 3^rd world countries have any hope at all of raising above their poverty and spiritual deprivation. THANK YOU LORD that You have given America – and the world at large – hope again. Thank You Lord that Christians and Jews again can praise Your Holy Name without fear of reprimand or chastisement from the previous muslim pagan. YOU are the reason Donald John Trump and Michael Richard Pence have placed You once again where You deserve to be: at the helm of this great Nation.

Where we, as a Nation, have been abandoned in a dry and weary land, You have given us rain on this momentous day as a promise that out thirst will be sated and the land will flourish again. We praise You Father for Your blessings and Your assurances that You have not forgotten Your people; You hear us Father and You care for us. Cleanse our land Lord of the evil that has permeated it and blow a gust of clean purity through it again so we can breathe deeply of fresh air. Thank You Father for all You are doing for us and raise us up out of the sinking mire to hold our heads high and give You the praise and glory You deserve.

We are great because of You … let us once again be great FOR you and Your holiness. Forgive father. Cleanse with a purifying fire that we need never be ashamed again. IN Yeshua Ha’Mashiach’s wondrous Name I ask. Amen.  ~Val

MOD Cactus Flower Dish Towel

I had been thinking of knitting my own dish towels for some time, and as soon as Hubs started talking about possibly moving to southern California for the warmth it will afford his bones, I serious “got on it” and designed a sample towel with some odds and ends cotton yarn I had laying around ;-)

The towels I have now are getting thread bare and need to be replaced, so now is as good a time as any to whip up several new ones; and even if we don't move after all, I will still need new towels:

I like bright colors, and I started at the bottom and worked 3 big bold stripes that I think reflects the colors of the desert: a pink that matches a cactus flower, a blue that matches the clear blue sky, a bright yellow that reflects the brilliant sun overhead, and a blend of all the colors that brings it all together. Then I crocheted a buttonhole round to mimic the pincushion cactus and topped that with 2 pink cactus flowers and a sunny yellow button.

Finished Cactus Flower Kitchen Towel

I like my towel; it’s nothing fancy, but it doesn’t need to be as I am keeping this sample towel instead of putting a sale tag on it :-D I have hung it on the oven door and will try it out tomorrow to see if will soak up water instead of allowing the water to run off its fibers and down to the floor like the store bought towels >:-(

If this towel proves satisfactory I will design more full length size kitchen towels with various patterns and leave off the topper. My husband is retired now and would appreciate a full size towel in the kitchen when he washes his paws in there instead of the half-towel I used when he worked nights. He is 6’2” with man sized hands and now that he's around all the time, I think that trumps my little tiny petite hands and little half towels.

Speaking of ‘trump’ … ARE YU’ALL EXCITED FOR TOMORROW NOON when President Trump officially becomes PRESIDENT TRUMP???

We are; and I can't wait for the obamas to vacate :-D

But the way it's playing out and dragging out, the obamas may have to be forcefully removed from the premises. I have never in my entire life - I am 60 years old - seen such poor losers that just hang on, and hang on, and h.a.n.g.o.n ... the sour-puss obamas behave like the White House is their personal property and show no signs of willfully vacating The People's House. It's bizarre behavior to say the least.

TRUMP POEM

Tyler Gerhardstein drafted:

Twas the night before Inauguration, and up in the tower,
The Donald reflected on his newfound power.
The conservative masses had come out in force,
And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.
The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes,
The media lied to them . . . What a surprise.
They had been promised a Hillary win,
But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.
And though from all corners celebrities flew,
They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue.
They talked about climate, racism, and such,
And they made up good stories . . . But didn’t know much.
The fake news and ignorance came at a cost,
And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost.
They blame it on Comey and Bernie and Vlad,
But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.
Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed,
Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod.
The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed,
And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.
So out in the streets there arose such a clatter,
It was Soros-paid protestors and Black Lives Matter.
With cities to pillage and windows to smash,
They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.
Eight years of Obama had given them cause,
To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus.
But soon the protestors will feel the pain,
When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.
And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear,
Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear.
The cocoa and crayons will help for a while,
But fact-based opinions will soon cramp their style.
I originally supported, and voted, for Cruz,
In the end, I would vote for whoever they choose.
He wasn’t my first choice, but soon I would cede,
The one they call Trump is the one that we need.
I saw him on TV in front of a crowd,
He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud.
He spoke about energy, safety, and jobs,
Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.
He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat,
And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete.
For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit,
And he looked presidential, I have to admit.
His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best,
And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest.
His love for this country was on full display,
And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.
He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone,
Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on.
The fate of this country left nothing to chance,
So, he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.
The men he had chosen were of the same mind,
Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind.
He picked up his phone as he rose from his seat,
With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet;
“Now Mattis!, now Kelly!’ now Sessions! And Pruitt!
On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it.
Start lifting restrictions and building the wall,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”;
The roar of his audience rose from the stands,
He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands.
He answered their questions and calmed all their fears,
They knew it would be a fantastic four years.
Then he jumped in his limo, and off to his jet,
A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget.
He sent one more tweet as the evening expired;
“Happy Inauguration to all,
AND OBAMA – YOU’RE FIRED!”

French MP Meyer Habib: “The Paris Conference

French MP Meyer Habib: “The Paris conference proves we have lost all shame”: 'The drafts of this conference's conclusion, which were leaked by the media, leave no room to doubt the organizers' intentions... There's not a word mentioned about the palestinian authority's resistance to peace, or about Israel's right to exist as a Jewish country with any kind of borders.

More libtard and demogod Ridiculousness …

The libtards and demogods are waging yet a.n.o.t.h.e.r biased and hypocritical critique.

barak hussain obama has a history of having reporters FIRED for speaking the truth and “making him look bad”. That skunk also mocks and belittles reporters he disagrees with.

Now his obamanites are bitching and moaning about President Trump refusing to give a story to troublemakers who only print garbage?

This latest ridiculousness from obama’s administration is bitterly biased and hypocritical critique that means absolutely nothing.

Phantom in the Snow

It’s a mystery <:-O

And it happened in our back yard. I woke up and poured a mug of coffee and went into the back livingroom to watch the birds flocking to the bird feeder. While looking at all the glistening white snow blanketing the back yard, I noticed that something had knocked my metal bird-bath stand over on its side; when I mentioned it to Hubs, he said it was probably the cat that sneaks through the bottom of the fence that borders our back yard and the neighbors. I was thinking probably and more likely one of the squirrels that run the top of the fenceline and jumps into the open bird feeder to filch sunflower seeds. But then I noticed 2 parallel lines of tracks messing up the pristine beauty of the snow blanket covering the back yard: one set of tracks was obviously cat tracks and I know who the perpetrator is; the other set of tracks was a mystery animal that hopped or jumped across the yard from the overturned bird-bath stand to the base of our bedroom window.

WTHeck???

So I pulled my boots on, grabbed the camera, and went out to investigate:

No mystery here ... these are cat tracks along the ground edging the side of the deck.

More cat tracks.

Here is where the mystery tracks begin - something knocked my birdbath stand over: it could have been a cat or a squirrel, BUT the 'mystery tracks' begin here and lead to our bedroom, where they promptly disappear! The tracks simply come out of nowhere and go (((POOF!))) into thin air: where did ‘it’ go, and most importantly … WHAT was/IS it?

There are 2 lines of tracks - one line is obviously a cat; the other line a mystery animal that hops or jumps very long strides.

At this point I am very curious. What small to medium sized animal could hop or jump in such a long stride? So I go into the garage to get my metal tape measure that I use when laying out my veggie garden …

The cat tracks skirt the deck ... the mystery animal hops or jumps are 5 feet apart; that length is how tall I am. I measured the distance between tracks very carefully. And you can see the cat tracks running alongside the deck ...

The mystery animal begins hopping or jumping from where the bird-bath stand was knocked over and the way the bird-bath stand was laying leads me to believe that whatever it was, it came into our back yard from the top of the fence.

Up-close pic of the parallel tracks: the forefront tracks are cat ... the tracks behind the cat tracks remain a mystery.

Up-close picture of the forefront tracks are definitely cat tracks.

The forefront cat tracks are spread apart in stride as a cat naturally would be.

The background parallel mystery tracks are just plain strange and hard to discern. They don't match any animal we can think of that would travel through our back yard such as raccoon (that animal is too large and too fat to hop or jump; it would waddle. LOL), a rabbit would hop or jump, BUT it would not be able to climb or hurdle the fence; and we are familiar with cat tracks …

What snow phantom made these mystery tracks that start at the overturned bird-bath and end at our bedroom window? Where did it come from, and WHERE did it go?

It’s weird, folks. It came out of nowhere and simply disappeared into thin air.

SNOW DAY

There was a thick cloud covering last night so I couldn’t check to see if there was a Blue Moon or not last night, but around 2 a.m. this morning after I stopped working on a new design, I checked the front door and noticed this:

Front Patio picture: about 2” snowfall

This morning we woke up to a Winter Wonderland here – this snowbaby is happy to see the snowflakes … and the subsequent piling up of snow everywhere, but no one else is thrilled, and I have to admit that the older I get (60 yo in December!), the more my bones complain. We normally get rainforest weather in our neck of the PNW – rain, rain, and M.O.R.E. rain; but every once in a while a Blue Moon will hover overhead, and our region gets some snow: this is one of those ‘every once in a while’ moments ;-)

6 inches of snowfall this morning around 10 a.m.

Snowy blanket covering my raised veggie beds - so far the netting over my blueberry bushes hasn't caved in.

My dwarf Patio Apple Trees have been naturally 'flocked'. LOL

Tuning into the weather channel to see what the grandkids are facing this work day, the weatherman says ‘a foot of snow in Portland’ (that’s a big deal in the PNW) … and ‘it feels like Fall in the South’ (people head south to get winter sunshine, so this is not welcome news for those regions), so it would appear that everyone is waking up to strange weather this morning. Crater Lake, where we have visited twice in our 42 year marriage – recently this past August for our anniversary – has had 99 inches of snowfall and had been shut down due to heavy snowpack and avalanche: they are expecting 16 to 26 inches MORE through today. Unheard snowfall is taking place across the NW.

Maybe I’d better put another brick of suet in the bird feeder for our feathered friends … this is actually an excuse to be the 1st to set foot in the fresh snowfall ;-)
